Major Nidal Malik Hasan, the gunman who killed 13 at America's Fort Hood military base, once gave a lecture to other doctors in which he said non-believers should be beheaded and have boiling oil poured down their throats.

He also told colleagues at America's top military hospital that non-Muslims were infidels condemned to hell who should be set on fire. The outburst came during an hour-long talk Hasan, an Army psychiatrist, gave on the Koran in front of dozens of other doctors at Walter Reed Army Medical Centre in Washington DC, where he worked for six years before arriving at Fort Hood in July.

Colleagues had expected a discussion on a medical issue but were instead given an extremist interpretation of the Koran, which Hasan appeared to believe.

It was the latest in a series of "red flags" about his state of mind that have emerged since the massacre at Fort Hood, America's largest military installation, on Thursday. ...

Fellow doctors have recounted how they were repeatedly harangued by Hasan about religion and that he openly claimed to be a "Muslim first and American second."

One Army doctor who knew him said a fear of appearing discriminatory against a Muslim soldier had stopped fellow officers from filing formal complaints. [Emphasis added]

Here's the UPI article, "Bush had called for laxer airport security" that I wrote on the evening of September 11, 2001 pointing out that George W. Bush had denounced airport security personnel for paying more attention to Arabs and Muslim fliers, and then had had Norman Mineta's Transportation Department start a program to stomp out airport profiling.

Also, we now know that the airport ticket agent who checked in Mohammed Atta on the morning of 9/11/2001 said to himself, as he told Oprah in 2005:

"I got an instant chill when I looked at [Atta]. I got this grip in my stomach and then, of course, I gave myself a political correct slap."

Michael Touhey told a reporter:

Then Tuohey went through an internal debate that still haunts him.

"I said to myself, 'If this guy doesn't look like an Arab terrorist, then nothing does.' Then I gave myself a mental slap, because in this day and age, it's not nice to say things like this," he said. "You've checked in hundreds of Arabs and Hindus and Sikhs, and you've never done that. I felt kind of embarrassed."

It wasn't just Atta's demeanor that caught Tuohey's attention.

"When I looked at their tickets, they had first-class, one-way tickets - $2,500 tickets. Very unusual," he said. "I guess they're not coming back. Maybe this is the end of their trip."

Steve, is there a way to donate completely anonymously, so even you don't know who I am.----------------------------------Eight years ago, parts of the conservative press were asking "did political correctness allow September 11?" Maybe not, but it sure caused Ft. Hood.

muslim immigrants aside, we haven't even posted about the obama administration decision to remove the ban on HIV positive immigration.

it is guaranteed, GUARANTEED, that in only a few years, HIV positive immigrants from who knows where, will be deliberately infecting americans with this lethal virus.

and of course, thousands, THOUSANDS, will come to the US simply for the free health care that the fedgov wants to give them. any 20 year old, no skill, high school dropout, HIV positive immigrant can come to the US now and get a lifetime of medical care for AIDS, at a cost of at least 1 million dollars to the taxpayers.

Danquah assumed the military's chain of command knew about Hasan's doubts, which had been known for more than a year to classmates at the Maryland graduate military medical program. His fellow students complained to the faculty about Hasan's "anti-American propaganda," but said a fear of appearing discriminatory against a Muslim student kept officers from filing a formal complaint.

Guys like Hasan are pretty dim or impulsive in going on shooting sprees against “Americans”. It's obvious no elite opinion maker cares if a dozen or two average American slobs are shot or run over. It’s been going on for years.

However, inevitably some of these Islamic terrorists will target elites who actually hold power in this country (politicians, financiers, media figures, etc). They will probably even hit something like a synagogue, business or other ethnic soft target like they frequently target in Israel.

When that day comes, I hope at least some elites will realize the cumulative blood they have on their hands for their willful PC ignorance of such incidences and ruinious policies that led to them.

I agree with airtommy. The Telegraph is notorious as being an info drop for US intel, ie the quickly-debunked recent story that Ahmadinejad was Jewish, or their 2003 article containing proof that Saddam had trained 9/11 loser Atta.

Diversity/Multiculturalism/Political Correctness is our brand new Official State Religion, the one whose dogmas you cannot question, and Barack Obama is its Pope - or should I say its Caliph?

Whenever I'm quoted one of its articles of faith I'm going to identify it as part of the state religion, and point out that the Constitution bans an established religion. I'm going to remind people of Mohammed Atta and Major Hasan as examples of its evils.

I have always been in full agreement with the idea that political correctness makes you stupid. But then there are a lot of people who should know better. People who know the truth, and understand the truth but are afraid to speak the truth - this makes them cowards, not necessarily "stupid".

This cowardice is omnipresent in the mainstream media, and also in much of academia. This isn't news to anyone on this board. Trouble is, I would hate to believe that our military, the U.S military is now infected with the same politically correct cowardice. That the military could allow a Jihadist, anti-American parasite like Maj. Hassan to wear the uniform so many American soldiers have proudly worn and died in, to pretend to be a patriot, shows how much our military has sunk.

The politically correct poison gas cloud that hangs over this country has indeed weakened us more than anything our enemies could cook up. Hassan's superiors who allowed this to happen, in spite of so much evidence that Hassan was an Islamic lunatic should all be fired, court-martialed or demoted. They let the enemy inside their camp as if he was a real American patriot. This is negligence in the extreme, and almost borders on treason.

Political correctness doesn't just make you stupid, it makes you cowardly to the point of treason.

Besides...he's *brown*! Be extra special nice and sensitive and careful around him, unless you want to lose your job and/or be financially ruined defending a lawsuit. Better to just let him do whatever he's gonna do...

‘As horrific as this tragedy was, if our diversity becomes a casualty, I think that’s worse.’

Heh. The monumentally obvious response here is to wonder if the 14 victims would agree if they could speak. That this response will not manifest in the MSM is both predictable, and telling. It's like someone going on television and saying the sky is green, and nobody will point out that it's actually blue.

The counterpoint to this is neocon insistence that Malik had to be an Al-Qaeda mole terrorist sleeper cell or something - you know, because sleeper terrorists go around boasting about killing infidels and such.

A summary of real overheard Death Cultist chatter: "Hasan was overlooked because the military was focused on kicking out gays. We need to end discrimination against gays to prevent this from happening again. Christians do bad things too. Should the military get rid of Christians? Remember what the Crusades were like."

There is no hope for these nihilists.

All we can do is get the hell out of the way and hope that they don't drag us over the cliff with them.

After the murders I saw the "Pre-Traumatic Stress Syndrome" joke turning up among bloggers mocking the insane contortions of the MSM trying to deny the obvious. This afternoon on NPR I heard some straight-faced stone-cold sober commentator offering P(re)TSD as an exculpatory diagnosis. No lie. Dear f*****' God. We are now officially Ass Clown Nation.

The liberals seem to be willing to accept this Al-Qaeda angle too. Since Al-Qaeda, like the Nazis, are officially sanctioned bad guys, it's much more palatable to blame them than it is to contemplate that this guy acted more or less independently based onon his Islamic religious and political convictions.

"This isn't significant at all. Allah is just the Arabic word for God. We already knew that Hasan spoke Arabic and was a fairly devout Muslim."

Actually, Soldier of Allah is significant. Firstly, most devout Muslims would not refer to themselves as Soliders of Allah but rather Slaves of Allah to show that they submit to His will. Secondly, Hasan was not a soldier in a Muslim army nor is he part of a Muslim resistance movement so the title makes no sense. I'm pretty sure that his devotion to Islam came at a later date when his parents passed away. Personal crises can make lax Muslims more devout. Most devout Muslims, especially if they come from a Muslim background and are not converts, would never agree to join an infidel army. The Koran explicitly forbids such a thing. Hasan may have come to this realization once he became knee deep into Islam and then he began to act in a bizarre fashion. He was trying to expunge his guilt of perfidy (comforting infidel soldiers who were fighting Muslims) by going jihad and becoming a martyr.

Rich Lowry has posted at least 2 letters (supposedly from shrinks)defending the concept. It makes a great deal of sense.

However...what are the odds that the first documented case of the disease would be in a Muslim psychiatrist, who instead of shooting himself or ODing on valium due to all the pain decides instead to go on a shooting spree on an Army base - while the US is fighting a war against Muslim extremists?

That's the unbelievable part.

"And yet it moves."

E pur si muove. Indeed. Words for an anti-PC warrior to know and live by.

"UK Telegraph reports that Brits now refer to one another as "comrade""

What is the relevance of this to "Political correctness strikes again"? It's an appropriate term to refer to one's 'brothers in arms' and probably has a longer history with the army than it does with socialists. Comrades is fine, but 'colleagues' sets my teeth on edge.

Tovarich probably sets many people to shivering and retching in areas of the world where you aren't.

Also there's a culture of gutter Marxism over here that uses the English language term "comrade" ad nauseum, particularly as a form of address. To many who are allergic to that culture, the term is especially objectionable. It reeks of Bill Ayers, trade unionism (in the UK), and bearded New Left minions howling on the campus green for free love and Das Kapital. Quick - get me a barf bag.

Here's the Google Wallet FAQ. From it: "You will need to have (or sign up for) Google Wallet to send or receive money.

My Book:

"Steve Sailer gives us the real Barack Obama, who turns out to be very, very different - and much more interesting - than the bland healer/uniter image stitched together out of whole cloth this past six years by Obama's packager, David Axelrod. Making heavy use of Obama's own writings, which he admires for their literary artistry, Sailer gives the deepest insights I have yet seen into Obama's lifelong obsession with 'race and inheritance,' and rounds off his brilliant character portrait with speculations on how Obama's personality might play out in the Presidency." - John Derbyshire Author, "Prime Obsession: Bernhard Riemann and the Greatest Unsolved Problem in Mathematics" Click on the image above to buy my book, a reader's guide to the new President's autobiography.
